PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY–Vacancy for offices within half-a-mile of the metro in Prince George's County has dropped to its lowest point since 2011, falling from 33.9% in 2014 to 14.1% in the first quarter of 2018, according to a new research note by JLL. To double down on this point of the metro helping to drive occupancy gains, JLL also reports that vacancy among offices farther than half-a-mile from the metro in Prince George's County has hovered above 20% in recent years.

Developments within half-a-mile of Metro have seen close to 90,000 square feet of occupancy gains since 2015 and these gains are expected to continue as Kaiser Permanente and the US Department of Homeland Security-Citizenship and Immigration Services move into a combined 750,000 square feet over the next 24 months. This could potentially push direct vacancy to around 10% for this area of the market, JLL said.
